This book has absolutly everything you'll need to know about Perl. The only other book I would recommend is Learning Perl from O'Reilly. I develop CGIs for a job, and this book is an invaluable reference. I have been much impressed with this book. BUY IT! =)

This book is written in a friendly, non-threatening way and gives the reader great basics in doing page layouts. It is a quick read if you have some experience in design, but then it's not written for people with design experience! A lot of the comments that I read here were about using this book as a guide for web design, and this book is not about web design! (She does have another book that is for web design though.) So if you need to layout a newsletter, print ad, or flyers, this is the book for you!

Jeff Doyle has a wonderfully readable writing style. He presents his concepts logically and builds through the book. The layout of the text and diagrams make the book easy to read. Definitely worth the price.

Language is plain,and technical explanation is accurate:It is easy to understand and easy to practice.This book is excellent! Hopefully the arthor can frequently improve the contents of this book,because the whole java industry changes so quick,everyday is different.
